Horological Meandering

Hello, Please could someone please briefly describe a tool watch? I know it's often associated with military watches, weekend watches and diving watches but can't seem to find a short definition! Thanks in advance, Nav

For me, a "tool Watch" is any watch which was designed to perform a particular tough purpose and is can take a beating by being worn in dust, water, magnetic or other tough environments. Eg. A dive watch can be a tool watch if you wear it for its intended... 

I think it\'s any watch designed for a specific purpose. And I must emphasise specific. Perhaps this means it doesn\'t have to be tough per se, such as a navigation aid watch.

.

Any watch you can take to the beach, the sauna and the ski slope without paying attention or being concerned.

I've been searching the internet for a definition, but couldn't find anything substantial out there!

That\'s the definition of a tool watch.

Do they have a pink version?! ;-)

...  

Dare I say I'm not a fan :-/ I'm sure there must be more delicate tools watches out there!

Let\'s wait for Dr. Damjan Darko to chime in. He should be able to help. Best, Martin

Hello, no need to specifically search - I was just asking about what a tool watch was, and I saw the term mentioned frequently. They seem to be very masculine watches! Best,
